To all whom it 12mg concern .7-

Be it known that I, Axror; Srmim, a

' citizen of the United States, residing at Orland, in the county of Glenn and State of California, have. invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stoves, and has palticula-r reference to stoves of the camp type especially designed for field use for burning of wood either for heating or cooking purposes.

One of the objects of the invention has reference to a novel type of grate which is removable from the stove and a series of baltle walls to Cause the smoke and heated air to. travel in a tortuous path within the body of the stove.

The invention further embodies in a stove of the camp. type, bracket arms of wire formation secured thereto to provide hangers for dryingartic-les or wood tobe burned.

lVith the above and other general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of the parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views Fig. l is a front elevational view of a camp stove constructed in accordance with the present invention showing the entrance door to the fire box and the ash tray, and also the drying racks positioned at each side thereof,

taken on line of Fig. 3. showing the grate supported above the ash pan and the battle walls,

Fig. 6 is a vertical cross sectional view taken on line 66 of Fig. showing two of the bailie walls,

Fig. 7 is a perspective view oi the removed from. the stove, i Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one of the drying racks removed from the stove,

Fig. 9 is a. perspective view of one oi the baiille plates, and

FiQ". 10 is a perspective view of the other grates batlie plate.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawings, there is illustrated a stove or" the camp type embodying a bottom wall 1 and an oval shaped side wall 2 having a front end 3 and'a rear end 4. The rear end 4 is provided with a smoke pipe 5 positioned adjacent the lower end thereof as shown in Figs. 2' and 5, the smoke outlet pipe 5 being supported by the strap hanger 6 secured as at 7 to the rear wall l of the stove. Sup-porting feet 8 are anchored by bolts 9 to the bottom wall 1 of the stove shown in 4t and 5. while the top wall 10 carries a sectional lid covering ll overlying the tire pot 12.

As shown more clearly in Figs. 3 and. 5, a vertical partition 13 extends transversely ot the interior of the stove, contacting the side walls and bottom wall 1, the upper edge of the partition. 13 terminating at a. point spaced below the top wall 10 to provide a passage (6. A grate, of the type best illustra-ted in Figs. 3, 5 and 7 is arranged within the stove casing intermediate the partition 13 and the front wall 3, the grate embodying a horizontal plate 141: having grate a1. 15. and carrying at one end thereof a perpendicular plate extension 16, the opposite sides of the grate plate Ll being notched. as at 1'7 tor purposes presently to appear. Supports for the grate embody angle brackets 18 secured to the side walls 53 of the stove, the vertical legs of the angle brackets being received in the notches 1.7

of the grate, while guide arms 19 carried by the side walls 2 engage the perpendicular 4 extension plate 1.6 for rigidly holding the pirate in it: "over position withln the stove. As shown 111 b 1g. 5, the front wall 3 of the stove is provided with a hinged door to permit the placing of fuel upon the grate plate 14:.

The ash tray is slidably disposed within the stove casing beneath the grate la, the same embodyin a bottom wall 21, an arm 22 as shown in l iglo, to hold the ash tray elevated in position directly beneath the grate, the front wall 2 of the ash tray carrying a handle 23 to permit removal thereof.

A pair of battle plates is interposed between the partition 13 and the rear wall t, to cause the products of combustion to travel in a tortuous path in escaping through outlet pipe 5, one of the bafiles being shown in Fig. 10 embodying a perpendicular plate2l, perpendicular edge flanges 25 provided upon the lower ends thereof with feet 26, the up per edge 24 of the battle plate 24 engaging the stove top 10 as shown in Fig. 5 with the feet 26 resting upon the bottom wall 1 of the stove to form a passage 6 below the edge of thebafiie plate and the bottom wall 1 of the stove. wall 27 carrying side flanges 28 and a centrally positioned perpendicular extension 29 on the upper edge thereof, the lower edge of the battle plate. 27 resting upon the bottom wall of the stove while'the upper edge of the plate extension 29 engages the top wall 10, providing lateral passages 0 at the upper end of the baffle plate 27 as clearly shown in Figs. 6 and 9.

A rack is associated with each side of the stove, one of the racks being shown in de a tail in Fig. 8 and being constructed of a wire frame embodying side bars 30 having cross bars 31 and angular-1y extending feet 32 carried by the lower ends of the side bars being provided with ofi'set portions 33 for engagement with the lower edges of the side walls of the stove, while the extreme ends of the seat are bent as at 3a to be secured to the anchoring bolts 9 of the stove legs 8, the

The other plate has a vertical incense racks when positioned on thestove occupyand operation'thereof will at once be apparent, it being noted that brackets'may be em- I ployed for-drying articles of clothing, or for drying wood to be burned in the stove, being inserted through the door opening 20 and upon the grate 14 the smoke and products of combustion traveling in a'tortuous path in passing through the outlet pipe 5, passing through the space a at the top ofthe partition 13 the space Z) adjacent the lower edge spaces 0 at the upper edge of the baffle plate 27. The ashes received in the tray 21 are removed by shifting the tray outwardly of the front wall 3 of the stove, while the sectional lid 11 permits the supporting of cooking utensils of various sizes.

\Vhile there is herein shown the preferred embodiment of my invention itis nevertheless to be understood that various forms, modificationsand arrangements of the parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

H ving thus described the invention, what I claim as new is '60 of the partition or baffle 24, and through the Thecombination with a camp stove, of
